Free State police have arrested North Louth Republican Liam Campbell with a view to processing him for extradition supposedly on request of the Lithuanian authorities, in reality as a result of an prolonged and sinister MI5 sting operation designed to nail a member of his family some years ago.

A Belfast court some years ago refused to hand Liam over for extradition in light of human rights concerns into the appalling state of prison conditions which he would face in Lithuania.

After referring to an earlier judgment which detailed severely overcrowded and unsanitary conditions at Lukiskes Prison, the judge said he was satisfied that extraditing Campbell to Lithuania would expose him to a real risk of inhuman and degrading treatment by reason of the jail conditions.

The question to be asked, why have the Free State proved extraordinarily willing and capable through the years of handing over their own citizens to a state which still maintains and occupation over a portion of their country.

What other country on the planet would bend over so willingly at the behest of a hostile power?

Even if your assertion about MI5 is true, it was a UK court which refused his extradition and respected his rights.

If the "Free State" :roll: hands him over to Lithuania then the UK did more to protect him than it did, and given this is a request from Lithuania direct to the "Free State" then it has nothing to do with the UK.
